One time ❤️

Nothing sweetie

Lucy Bronze Pov:

It was game day. I knew that all of our hard work in training and especially this camp would play out in the match. It was a big one today: euros qualifiers- England V Spain.
From previous meetings with Spain we know they have an outstanding team with many players who myself and Keira may be playing alongside in the next season; at Barcelona!

"Kei can you go make sure Chloe is ready" my girlfriend smiled at me before heading out of the room to where our daughter said she would be.

My heart hurt for Chloe, as much as she was telling me she hadn't hurt herself, and as much as I don't want her to of, something inside me tells me she has. I need to have a deeper conversation with her soon because there is clearly something that's making her feel down and it can't just be the move to Barcelona. This stage in her life has been going on before I got the request from barca and I know there's a lot on her chest, begging to be shared.
The way she shouted at me yesterday but then gave up halfway through and just let herself be comforted made my heart ache in so many different ways.
As much as I want to go to Chloe now and have a full blown conversation with her I can't.
I have to be in the game mindset because if we lose this game we may not have as big of a shot of getting into the euros. Right now I'm just going to comfort her the best I can.

CHLOE POV:

"Wait so you fell of your chair G?" Leah laughed.
"Okay right it was a bit funny but I was in an interview and yeah" G stated, trying to hold in her giggles.
"I was in the studio when that was being filmed aswell" Jill continued on.
"Why didnt you use your long arms to save her?" Leah asked while clutching at her stomach for air.

I smiled at them all and sat down in the waiting room with them as I saw Keira approaching.  "CHLOE I LOVE YOUR BRACELET! No genuinly where can I buy one?" Jill asked me.
She was pointing at my favourite bracelet which I got on holiday once when we went to visit some of Lucy's family in Portugal.
"Thanks Jill, you can have it if you want? I mean only if it doesn't get lost on your long arms" everyone started laughing again and Jill just shook her head. "You keep it kid"
I nodded my head and relaxed back into the chair.

"Hey Chlo, we were wondering if you were ready?"
Keira asked me calmly.
"Yeah just need to grab my suitcase, I'll be down in a minute." Before I left Keira brought me into a tight hold.
"Chloe I love you. You know that right?"
"I know Keira, and I love you too" I hugged her as tight as she was hugging me and then walked up the stairs.
I would have taken the lift if SOMEONE (alessia Russo) hadn't spilt jam under the door and got the door stuck. I swear she is one of, if not the clumsiest person to walk this earth.

I love Keira. We haven't spent much time together in the past couple of weeks because- well no. It is my fault. We used to be inseparable; she would take me shopping, play football with me, film tiktoks with me. But after all of this happened I have been distancing myself from everyone, not because I don't want to be with them, but because i feel like they don't want me with them.
Keira hasn't done anything to make me feel that way but other people have and it has led me to believe everyone is the same.

I grabbed my suitcase and slowly walked over to mum who was sat on the bed scrolling on her phone. I was greeted with a pat on the bed, very similar to the one yesterday.

"I'm sorry mum" I said while leaning into her side. "It's okay, I'm sorry for not telling you about Barcelona sooner. After the game we need a chat okay?"
The last thing I wanted was a 'chat' but maybe it would be a good thing. "Okay" I nodded. She pulled me further into her so my head was wresting on her chest.
She played with my hair before saying softly
"Ready to go down?"
I got up and held onto her hand with my luggage in the other. "Ready".
